Cool! I’ll have to drop by there the next time I’m in Charlotte. I wish they would move thier museum to that shop.
Great to hear, hopefully this will be the key to them getting back to a competitive edge
They’re taking over the RYR facility. I just hope they don’t run like the RYR cars.
Hope to be able to stop by when in the area.
